Need some good songs tuned down 1/2 step

Unread post by 95_RipperZ » Sun Jan 26, 2003 7:10 pm

Well pretty much I am lazy and while I am tuned down 1/2 a step I want to be able to play more than just Puddle of Mudd- Drift and Die before I go back to standard.

Any suggestions?

Our Lady Peace - Clumsy, 4am, and most of their songs (good stuff by the way)

DMB- Last Stop

Weezer - Butterfly (nice easy little tune)

uhhh, can't think of anything else right now

EDIT: Matthew Good Band - Strange Days (great song)

EDIT2: or just put a capo on the 1st fret and play in standard :)
good, and you?

good choices
wind cries mary sounds great in standard tuning too
Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."

I was going to say Dashboard Confessional too, they have a bunch of stuff 1/2 step down. Not to difficult in my opinion but still fun :D .

I think a good portion of the Nirvana Unplugged album is 1/2 step down.
